Born in Roswell, New Mexico and raised throughout the state of Colorado, Kevin Tydlaska spent a significant portion of his childhood in Colorado's foster care system, until being adopted at the age of 12 by his 4th grade tutor's family. After a solid year as a family, Kevin's adopted family began to break apart. It was during Kevin's junior year in high school that his adopted family finally separated leaving Kevin with one of the two parents. Kevin pushed through graduation, came out of the closet, and quickly found himself on his own at the age of 18. Several years later, after understanding the true nature of his adoption, Kevin changed his name back to his birth name, Kevin Tydlaska.

An actor from a very young age, Kevin performed in his first theatre production at the age of 13. After falling in love with acting Kevin continued to perform in straight plays and musicals throughout high school earning several awards and landing a small performing arts scholarship. Unfortunately, Kevin was not able to pursue performing arts as a major and had to instead find a stable job to support himself. Kevin landed in banking but never lost sight of his love for acting.

After several years working in banking, starting college, and traveling, Kevin experienced the suicide of his best friend Kaylie which pushed him to finally begin pursuing his dreams. Within one week Kevin moved to New York City. It is in New York City that Kevin met his future husband, Brandon and began taking classes at UCB NYC and The Barrow Group. In NYC Kevin starred in a web series, 'Bocce Ballers' which gave him his first credit.
